Surfin' the Blogs

I'm still a week behind in my posts. Once we got back from Maine, I had another round with the flu bug for a day or two, then about the time I was recovering, I had the joy of another kidney stone attack (I've had them since I was 16) and spent a day or two in the ER and met a wonderful pain-killing drug that knocked me semi-conscious, not necessarily a good place to be with 2 and 3/4 year old twins! Nonnie, Evan, Mason and Lory handled my care and the children while I was out for the count (it all happened on a weekend, when Gary works the most).

And when I awoke from my drug induced coma on Monday morning, there was...what!?! Snow....not a leetle snow, but a TON of snow. Over a foot!

I've been waiting for snow for over two years! And the first time we get it, I can barely wipe the drool off my chin and wake up enough to see it!! lol! Oh - the irony!

About mid-day, I managed to get up and get Austin and Logan dressed for a few minutes out in the snow.And they played some with their friends, too!

The four Amigos!

I personally enjoyed their indoor snow attire...the underlayers...

fashionistas!One onesie in and one onesie out!I think these pictures are a trip - Austin and Logan are only within 1/4 inch or less height-wise of each other. Doesn't look it here, though!

Luckily, by Tuesday I was able to get out and actually get the boys sleigh-riding down some hills and we went out again on Wednesday. They LOVEd it. They zoomed down the hills all by themselves and carried their little toboggans back up all by themselves! Oddly enough, they did not sleep better as everyone told me they would!! Nope - actually less sleep! Too wired, I guess?

By Friday, we were enjoying 70 degree weather again! Today, 80 something. Snow all gone. But it was the Perfect Storm! Came in quick, dumped a bunch of white stuff, everyday was perfect for either snowmen building or sledding and now it's all gone (none of those ugly, dirty patches that stick around forever. )

Can't wait for another 10 to 15 years to go by before we get our next snow!

I can't wait to show this to Reese. He is going to love it--and want to do it. I'll send you my ER bill:>)

Donna, hope you get feeling better!!! Glad you had a good support team to help you out.

SNOW??!?!?! Must have felt like Christmas to you. SOrry you weren't able to enjoy it as much as you would have liked. The post was a pic of you enjoying the snow!!! Wish ours was all gone, and our temps were that warm. ENJOY

Van was all giggles watching the step sledding...I know he's heading for the stairs now to try it out. He was also practicing his new favorite word "more" as he watched them over and over again...How was your sale? Are we gonna try and shop again this weekend or are you done?
